How can I install s3cmd on Mac OS X Yosemite?

Solution 1:

Or you can keep it simple and use Homebrew to install/manage many of the AWS tools, including s3cmd

1. Install Homebrew by running this command

   ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"
   

2. Look for the code you want

   $ brew search s3
   s3-backer  s3cmd      s3fs   s3sync     unfs3
   

3. Install s3cmd

   brew install s3cmd
   

The installer will do all of the dirty work including get dependancies and symlink to your /Applications folder (depending on the app you install).

4. Want the latest version?

   brew update
   

I've been using this for the awscli tools for months with great success. GL.
